The Book Stall was swell

04/12/2012 By Ellen Beals 6 Comments

Many thanks to The Book Stall for hosting our celebration of Poetry Month---to Roberta Rubin for inviting us to read and especially to Amy and Gordon who worked late to accommodate us.  The Book Stall has been named Publishers Weekly Bookstore of the Year and it is obvious why.
